No One Is Safe During a War of Extermination. Especially the
Civilians. Rebecca Goldman was a bright and pretty child, a twelve
year old with a loving family. Technology allowed them to live
comfortably on the most dangerous planet in the Empire, Azure. And
then the Ca'cadasans came, and it was suddenly survival of the
fittest out in the wilderness. Losing everything, Rebecca has only
herself to depend on in a jungle where everything is an enemy.
Cornelius Walborski just wanted to killed Cacas. After losing his
wife to the aliens on Sestius, he trains to become a Ranger, the
augmented warriors of the Imperial Army. He has never seen anything
like Azure, but there are Cacas to hunt, and a mission to perform.
Two unlikely survivors find themselves thrust together, where the
man will save the child, and save himself at the same time.
Humanity's worst nightmare has again come out of the Dark. Can a
human race in turmoil survive?
When the human race faces extermination at the hands of an
expanding species the last survivors travel a thousand years to
reestablish the race ten thousands light years away. It is now a
thousand years after the birth of the New Terran Empire. The race
has aggressively expanded during that time, with a fleet that has
never lost a war against an alien species. But the signs are there,
the old enemy is back, and the Fleet will face its greatest
challenge in a foe fifty times their size.
Science fiction in the tradition of Anderson and Weber, where the
physics of normal and hyperspace dictate the strategy and tactics.
Enormous fleets battle across the immensity of space with advanced
technologies. Can the proud human Fleet hold off the tide of an
advancing enemy, rallying allies and deploying new tech? Or will
the conquerors achieve what they could not two thousand years
before, and end the existence of the upstarts.
The Saga Continues as the Ca'cadasan menace prepares to assault the
New Terran Empire. A menace humankind fled across the Galaxy two
thousand years before.
Humankind has grown complacent, confident in the victories their
fleet has won for them through the last thousand years over
numerous alien races. But the Ca'cadasan Empire has continued to
grow, and now the massive Imperialistic power has found the hated
humans. The Emperor knew this was going to happen, but most of
Parliament ignored his strident call. And the Prince Sean Lee Ogden
Romanov, third in line for the throne, finds himself placed into a
position he had never thought would come his way. The fate of the
Empire may rest on the abilities of one young man, and his skills
at navigating the maze of Imperial politics amidst a war of
extermination. Book two of the popular Exodus Series.
In the tradition of Poul Anderson and David Weber.
Sean needs a victory, before Parliament returns a no confidence
vote and leaves him a figurehead ruler. The Ca'cadasans are almost
through with their conquest of Sector IV, and from the there, the
heart of the Empire is exposed. The Ca'cadasans continue to roll
over the New Terran Empire and the New Terran Republic. Hit and run
tactics are taking a toll on the enemy, bleeding them, but not
enough. Frontier worlds, developing planets, and worse, the
industrial powerhouses known as Core Worlds, are falling at an
alarming rate, and even the new weapons based on wormhole tech
can't stop them. Risks need to be taken, everything put on the
line. Sean must come up with a plan that allows him to take on and
defeat the Caca battle fleet. Only then can he buy the time his
Empire needs to battle the enemy on even footing, and keep the
people without a plan from gaining controi of the Empire. Defeat
could spell disaster, but so could inaction. He has even more new
weapons to deploy, devices beyond imagination, and the shipyards
are working to capacity. Allies are gathering, but so are regional
enemies who join the cause of the enormous aliens. And a client
species of the Cacas is looking to play both sides to their own
benefit, while the Cacas plan on a strike that will take wormhole
technology away from the humans, once and for all. The Day of
Battle is upon the Empire, and the history of the human species
depends on the outcome.
The Saga Continues, as an Emperor is seated and the threat from the
Ca'cadasan Empire grows. Sean is back, saved from the grasp of the
Ancient Enemy. And the Ancient Enemy is going full bore into the
heart of all the human kingdoms. The Ca'cadasan Empire has it out
for the humans. Their Emperor had ordered the human species
exterminated. But the humans got away, at least some of them, and
established themselves ten thousand light years away in the Persius
Arm. They were given a thousand years to establish themselves, but
now the Ancient Enemy has found them, and they are still determined
to wipe out over a trillion humans. Those humans are not so
inferior in their tech as they were, only a couple of decades
behind the Ca'cadasans. And they have the Donut, the enormous space
station built around a black hole, a century in the construction.
The Donut generates wormholes, the one major adantage of the humans
over their enemies. There are other technologies on the horizon
that the canny humans hope to gain advantage from. If they can keep
their Fleet together long enough in the face of a mighty foe to
deploy what they hope are war winning techs. And in the capital of
the New Terran Empire plots are still alive. The plots of other
governments, and of humans with their own agendas. Old enemies
sharpen their knives, determined to catch the humans in disarray,
while new allies come in on the human side. Will it be enough? Or
will humanity be forced to flee once again?
